Okay, I know I'm going to take a boatload of shit for even admitting I use these but hey, I can take it. I use these during my forearm work.

Last night I broke this. This pair was a gift from my parants when I first started working out 40 years ago :eek:. If I recall, it come with one of those 2 handed spring things that if you got it too close to your chest would take a nipple off.

Anyway, anyone ever see one of these break? That's a first for me!

I use a regularly set of grips from Iron Mind and my forearms/extensors have never been bigger.

Deadlifts was why I first started doing them. My legs and back could outlift my grip, and that ain't right. And I tried to only use straps when doing PRs so I wouldn't get used to the crutch. But this spring and summer I've been working my forearms for growth and they are responding.

Yep, add me in for another Iron Mind CoC gripper fan. I've had mine for years and they've only developed a minor squeak but that's just the nature of metal on metal.

I'm not sure what weight these were but I was doing 80 reps with them. Maybe I need to get a heavier set.
